Pie chart humor | The shouting end of life via I love charts tumblr blog

What works

What can I say, I think it’s funny. Pie chart humor with real pie. Ha.

I am impressed at the time and effort someone put into trimming the pie plates, thinking through the crosshatching, and trying to get some different colors going on.

The text of the original post reads:

“THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT VISUAL PUN TO HAVE EVER BEEN POSTED ON THE INTERNET.”

I’d take that with a grain of salt, especially considering the gratuitous use of all caps. Probably it’s meant to be ironic or sarcastic or some other hipster attitude that I am too old to absorb osmotically.

What needs work

I still don’t like pie charts.

Sorry but I can't take this pie chart humor with a grain of salt. Perhaps, a good bottle of Scotch...but no salt. It just isn't my cup of tea. I have other tastes. I would like a more nourishing explanation of the humor here as I fear I am also too old to grasp the pie chart reference. My best.

This is more of a Venn's diagramm than a pie chart (hence less of a pun)...

That's definitely the second-cleverest Venn diagram I've come across in the last two days. The cleverest is this one. Don't ask me because I don't have a clue what it's about either. http://i.imgur.com/R9mJR.jpg

here is my own take on pie chart analyses with a heavy dose of humor and a touch of bourdieu
